This is Bella. Her pompous fur kind of makes her look like royalty, and that's probably not too far from the truth.

For the past 10 years, she's been nothing but a faithful companion to her owner, Shawn Bell. But not too long ago, she started displaying a whole new side to her.

Shawn R. Bell

You see, beautiful innocent Bella wasn't that innocent after all!

She begun spontaneously popping up at their house in Vancouver, Canada, with a bunch of strange objects. The first time she showed up at the house, she was carrying a sock.

But it didn't stop there! Bella showed up the next day with more socks.

Shawn was left wondering just where the heck was she getting all these things from? Had she been snooping around her neighbors' homes?

Then, on day 4, Bella showed up at the house with a pretty bizarre item. Something no one would've expected a cat would've even be interested in.

On that hot summer day, Bella showed up with a child's drawing. We don't even know how she managed to gently hold on to it, without tearing it apart! Her owner was left scratching his head.

Had she chosen a different object as to throw him off of her secret obsession with socks?

No one knows for sure! But somehow, Bella had taken an interest in other people's socks! Shawn had no idea where she'd been stealing these objects from. Whenever she went on one of her evening prowls, she showed up baring gifts.

But Bella kept bringing in souvenir after souvenir without a care in the world!

She had managed to collect so many socks and clothes, that Shawn even filled half a garbage bag with them!

For some reason, her klepto ways had escalated during the last few months.

"She used to just come home with one piece of clothing per night," she shared on an interview with The Dodo. Then he updated the situation. Evidently, Bella is not about to drop a life of crime: "Now she is coming home with two or three a night — or more."

Shawn begun worrying about the poor owners who had been terrorized by Bella, so he started placing signs outside his apartment.

Clothes, socks, and other items started piling up. Bella was an out-of-control adorable criminal and nothing will stop her! Shawn hoped the people who had "lost" these garments would show up to claim them.

Bella's crazy antics are truly hilarious, but Shawn was left feeling a little bit embarrassed and concerned for the people who had lost their clothes. "It sucks to have to keep buying clothes if they keep going missing," he said.

"Then there is the issue of the undergarments and her starting to make me look a bit weird," he went on to add.

That's right! Bella wasn't just content with stealing people's clothes. She was also taking underwear and intimates from unsuspecting neighbors too! Shawn really hopes the rightful owners of all these little knick-knacks she stole will finally knock on his door. But if you think Bella feels any sort of remorse for her actions, think again! "I think she’s proud of herself," he shared. Regardless, Shawn still loves his little furry daughter, even if she's a criminal!
